Autistic adult
Apr 25, 2021
This podcast is brilliant. it resonates so much with me, and it provides great reassurance and guidance. Essential for autistic people exploring themselves.
Description
The SquarePeg podcast invites autistic women and nonbinary people to explore navigating a neurotypical world and share their insights, challenges and successes.
I hope that these conversations will be inspiring and thought provoking, open you up to new ways of thinking about being neurodivergent, and help you feel more connected to a worldwide community of people with similar experiences.
